@sapphire@WaifuPoaster88@justnormalkorean I am not 100% certain, but I think ZB is a very dilute hydrogen cyanide solution. When checking wiki just a minute ago, I noticed that, this section is right before the claims about nazi using ZB to kill people (which I did not expect).
I used to think those were very silly, though now, I can see that there is a certain kind of purity of pursuit required to truly master something. And, ideas of money or profit or other impure thoughts, contaminate the process and halt it.
If one must swing a sword with a pure pursuit of mastering the sword. Then, is it any wonder we fail to master coding, or art, or game-dev with an impure heart?
Not at all, it now seems to me, to be the only possible outcome.
To set forth onto a journey burdened down with heavy weights, is a good way to exhaust yourself and never reach your destination.
It is no different if your heart is burdened by the stress and anxiety of impure thoughts.
I read it all the time (said it a bunch myself), "I don't have energy to work on this right now." And, then I go join an intense hellthread for hours, or go into some deep optimization in Factorio....
The problem wasn't that I needed more energy, the problem was with my heart being burdened.
@p Hey, I really liked that ruby one liner you posted the other day. And, remembered that I've never really looked at ruby. (but I've often heard it talked about)
@p I've been enjoying the book. And, I really like some of the design decisions. I noticed some of the things, that require leg work to do in JavaScript, are the default in Ruby. Why does python even exist? (though after talking with a friend, the answer seems to be, people prefer a simpler smaller syntax)
My primary interest in coding these days, is either a micro controller, or to make something with graphical user interaction. So, of course I am doing the silly thing of reading Why's and playing with Ruby2D.
Running their getting started examples feels like, PFM xD RubyMine IDE doesn't seem to know what is going on either. But, the answer seems right under my nose.
Through experimentation, update, set, and show, all seem to be instance methods for Window. So, I am guessing there will be some kind of "make Window current context" command to be covered.
The third version, feels the most like something in another language, make a new instance of Window.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying Ruby, it is pretty neet.
Oh! Well that is obvious after you say it lol. And, I had to reference Window (which I believe is initialized as a singleton) to "add" an object, because the add method wasn't added to the top-level object.
You know, I kept thinking, "Ruby is just inferring what my code means, and piping my request to the correct object." But, that seems pretty irrational in hindsight xD
I'll take some time to digest the rest of your message :D
